A well deserved honor for Ventosa Vineyards! Fun fact, Tellier Studios and Ventosa share the same anniversary… both opening our doors in 2005! We absolutely LOVE photographing weddings there!
Senior session on our farm
When you book a senior photo session on our personal farm property because of the aesthetic appeal of shooting a country themed session, and you 1000% understand the assignment!!!
Oswego, NY Wedding
We don’t make it to Oswego very often for a wedding, but earlier this month we had the opportunity to photograph at a location that we have never been to before… Alexandria’s, right on Lake Ontario Harbor. With Fort Ontario just a few blocks away and St. Mary’s Church a few blocks in the other direction, we were able to put together an incredible grouping of photographs for this newlywed couple’s special day! Their day had everything from ten minutes of rain (for good luck), to scooter rentals to make it around town, to a gorgeous rainbow at the end of the day… ENJOY!
Quinta Rosa Estate Wedding
This past summer we had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at a location that we had never been before in Newfield, NY (just past Ithaca, NY) and I have to say that it was an absolutely stunning property! We hope to have the opportunity to go back again soon. The owners were fantastic to work with and the pictures from this couple’s day are just gorgeous! Enjoy a few of the highlights from the day…
“Ringing” in the New Year
Help me “ring” in the New Year (see what I did there) with a handful of our favorite ring details from this past year! Happy New Year everyone and we are looking forward to another amazing wedding season in 2022!
The Century Club in Rochester, NY
This was our first time at The Century Club in Rochester, NY and I really hope that it is not our last! What a beautiful place for a wedding!
Small Barn Wedding in Upstate NY
The Finger Lakes area of Upstate New York holds so many treasures for those looking to get married in the area. The selection of barns to choose from for a wedding is absolutely surreal, check out this one that Pat photographed this fall in Naples, NY… an area that I have loved visiting since I was a child.
Rochester, NY Engagement Session
How we make people FEEL, both about themselves when they see their pictures as well as when we are shooting with them, is always so incredibly important to us! A couple of days after this engagement session, we received a message from the wonderful couple saying:
“Wedding planning has been stressful at times and our shoot was a reminder that it can still be fun! Patrick was so kind and fun to talk to…”
This is one of the MANY reasons we do what we do and we LOVE what we do!
North Carolina Zoo
If you follow us on social media, then you probably know that we just recently took a week and a half long trip to North Carolina with our three boys! One of the highlights of the trip was going to the North Carolina Zoo! It took us two days and a total of eleven hours to make it to every animal, but the boys were on a mission and didn’t want to leave until it was done! Here are a few highlights of my favorite animals that we saw… ENJOY!
Magical Woodland Fairy Sighting in Highland Park
Over the weekend I photographed this magical session, a themed woodland fairy shoot at Highland Park in Rochester, NY! This beautiful young lady’s mom made the incredible wings and we made the antler headpiece and flower walking stick to complete the theme. It was so much fun to plan and even more fun to shoot and edit! Enjoy just a few of the highlights!
Senior Portrait Destination: Rochester, NY
Senior season is off to an incredible start with this amazing session shot in Rochester, NY. Pat traveled all over the city for a destination session yesterday, trying to fit in as much as possible before the rain hit them! Enjoy a hint of just a few of the many locations he shot!

The Moments you Never want to Forget
When you get married, you pour your heart and soul into planning your wedding. As you go through the big day, it’s impossible to experience the emotions that others around you were feeling. It’s truly amazing how much can be felt from just a small grouping of pictures. You can see the love and admiration this father has for his daughter, you can feel just how proud he is of her… all right here, in these pictures. This is what we hold so important in documenting your wedding, capturing not only the big events, but also the emotions on the faces of your loved ones. We want to show you how much love they have for you.
I can't feel my face when I'm with you...
What a year 2020 was! We kicked off 2021 with some great winter sessions and this blog post is dedicated to a few of the couples and families that braved the cold weather for amazing snow pictures!
Options for a small, intimate wedding
With everything going on in the world right now, many of you may be considering a smaller, more intimate wedding option instead of your originally planned wedding. Perhaps the thought of eloping has even crossed your mind. A little secret, we actually had a super small wedding with only 17 people in attendance, so we LOVE this type of wedding. Many different package options are now available beyond what is currently posted on-line. This wedding, shot last year at the BEAUTIFUL Zugibe Vineyards overlooking Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes, had around 20 guests. The view is breathtaking here, we are so lucky to call this area home! Check out a small sample of some of the gorgeous pictures from their day.

"Married at First Sight" Engagement Session
I had the honor of photographing this incredible couple’s engagement session on the beautiful grounds of Ventosa Vineyards in Geneva, NY this spring. The setting is in the heart of the Finger Lakes on Seneca Lake in Upstate New York, where we have the privilege to call home. It’s not a wonder what drew this couple to this area, coming in from out of state to celebrate their wedding. If they look familiar to you, it is because they are reality TV stars Jon Francetic and Dr. Jessica Griffin from the show “Married at First Sight!” The couple was an absolute joy to photograph and hang out with and their story is truly something special, like a fairy tale. Enjoy a small selection from the 1,600+ that I took that day!

The Beautiful Belhurst Castle
Looking ahead to our 2020 and 2021 wedding schedules, we are always so excited to see just how many times we will have the opportunity to photograph a wedding at the amazing Belhurst Castle in Geneva, NY on Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes. It is one of the premier wedding venues in the area, quite often drawing in couples from all over the country. We can not wait for the wedding season to get back on track and to be able to photograph all of the upcoming weddings we have scheduled here! In the meantime, enjoy some of our past weddings from Belhurst.

June Wedding Congratulations
It seems that this year is flying by faster than any other... I can't believe that we are into mid July already, it feels like we just watched the ball drop at the New Year! June was an incredible month, filled with lots of love, laughter and beautiful couples! Congratulations to all of our June weddings... we truly enjoyed each and every one of you! While many of our weddings last month kept us in our beautiful Finger Lakes region, a couple of them brought us out of the area to Rochester and Buffalo. We are truly lucky to live in such an incredibly beautiful state!

Finger Lakes Barn Wedding
There is a new barn in town and they are off to an incredible start! Welcome to Muranda Cheese, located in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Everyone who contributed to this day really "hit it out of the park" as the father of the bride (also owner of Muranda Cheese) said to me the day after the wedding. It was an incredibly beautiful day, with the bride and groom surrounded by 250 of the people closest to them! Thank you for having Tellier Studios there to tell your story!
